Durban notes on lpg & gas cylinders
Delivery is common in Durban North, Glenashley and La Lucia, where 48 kg pairs feed a geyser and hob on an outside wall. On the Berea and in Musgrave many flats only allow a small cylinder, so 9 kg exchanges at a refill station on Florida Road or in Morningside are the usual pattern. Restaurants along the Golden Mile and in Umhlanga Rocks often have a standing weekly delivery.
Durban: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Durban sits close to the fuel and gas works of the south basin, so LPG travels only a short way by road to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies across the metro. Many households on the Berea, in Durban North and in Umhlanga switched to a gas hob and a tankless geyser during load shedding, and takeaways, curry houses and beachfront restaurants run on 48 kg cylinders. Heaters matter less here than inland, but the coast brings its own problem: humid, salty air rusts cylinder bases, valves, regulators and cage hinges faster than you might expect. Badly rusted cylinders can be refused for filling, so keep them off wet ground and check the hose and fittings more often.
Who asks for 9 kg gas cylinders around Durban, most often first:

- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: food stalls and small takeaways running a single burner or warmer
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: flats and townhouses where the body corporate allows only small cylinders
